'The Public Diplomacy Blog' is a leading blog on public diplomacy and global communications in South Asia and Southeast Asia. With the emergence of highly advanced communications societies, Public Diplomacy (PD) as a practice is growing in the 21st century. Resurgent powers like India, recently opened their own PD divisions to influence global public opinion for a larger role in international politics. This blog is intended to be a commentary, and a forum, for discussion on PD. In the process, it hopes to provide critical insights and perspectives that can possibly assist policy makers, diplomats, researchers, students, media and also enhance understanding of the discipline. The Public Diplomacy Blog today enjoys a high page rank in search engines and is one of the most referred to and cited blog.
Public Diplomacy caught my interest as a graduate student at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University, New York, and I have been reading, writing and speaking on PD ever since. I am currently a communications consultant with Publicis Groupe's flagship communications network - MSL Group. As a consultant to leading brands and governments, nationally and internationally, I have been a witness to the difference that strategic communications can make - be it fighting deprivation in Africa, defusing nuclear tensions in South Asia or ensuring healthcare for all in America. 'The Public Diplomacy Blog' gives me an opportunity to combine my expertise in promoting destinations & global communications and my interest in International Politics to provide a critical narrative that may not always be present in news media.
Hope you enjoy the read and find it worthwhile to come back for more!
